My husband and I visited Danziger Projects when we were in New York (visiting from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada) and I saw you through the gallery window. I wanted to say that in person, but lost my courage as I thought you'd think me creepy.A Bonne Vivantehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11809003428318170829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-83174930029976349272009-10-11T06:32:57.563-04:002009-10-11T06:32:57.563-04:00wow they are some great shoes. i am heading to jap...wow they are some great shoes. i am heading to japan in a few weeks. can you let me in on where you found them??Horse Huntinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04098880206808771944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-33927030860993180872009-09-25T21:01:32.821-04:002009-09-25T21:01:32.821-04:00The pictures are really amazing, i wish i could li...The pictures are really amazing, i wish i could live or just visit Japan.

Not on the street!). I also remember wanting to buy EVERYTHING in the Japanese Dept. Stores, as it was all artfully arranged, just so, and if you touched one, you'd get a brief little scolding look and they'd RUN to the back to get the item for you to purchase. <br /><br />Great photos from your trip--thanks.Letterpresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13983311236791267553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-50831518925922609292009-09-11T22:30:00.597-04:002009-09-11T22:30:00.597-04:00To Jemmifer -

So different! So exciting! People who cleaned the subways and bow to the commuters to honor them! Quaint traditions of handing over business cards! Interesting food! Taxi drivers who wear white gloves! By the third time the novelty had worn off and I came to view it as a city with opaque people who value politeness over truthfulness; an infrastructure that, with only a few exceptions, is stuck in the 1970s; ethnically homogeneous in a troubling way; economically unproductive, with too many people doing too few jobs (do we really need multiple women in hotels whose sole purpose is to push the up button for the elevators and graciously wave you in?); and a work ethic that borders on insane. I have to go back to Tokyo next week and I already can't wait to get back. Now Hong Kong....THAT's a great city!<br /><br />jaydeeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-82302511468259738082009-09-10T20:49:57.144-04:002009-09-10T20:49:57.144-04:00Thanks for sharing your great photos of what must ...Thanks for sharing your great photos of what must have been an incredible trip. I think I could spend a few hours drooling over the Leica case at Isetan. If only I had the finances for not only a trip to Tokyo but to purchase one of those beautiful cameras...<br />And only in Japan would you find people accommodating enough to stand and hold a directional sign that could just as easily be posted on a wall. One more example of the Japanese culture's wonderful attention to detail.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13060330705058489120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-13320464418766195432009-09-10T16:15:40.395-04:002009-09-10T16:15:40.395-04:00So envious of your visit.

I have been five times, with a sixth trip planned for October of this year. It's always interesting to see someone's first take on Japan, seeing someone fall in love with it (as I did five years ago). The vending machines, the toilets, the attention to detail, the architecture, the food, the trains, the people, the shopping...and of course, the photographic potential. It's all so very good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777454663138389757.post-72564446371067464672009-09-10T12:34:58.142-04:002009-09-10T12:34:58.142-04:00Interesting photographs.
